Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are set to square off Sunday night in Flint, Mich., in the seventh Democratic presidential debate.
The event begins 8 p.m. on CNN and will run for two hours. You can also stream the debate online at CNN.com.
The face-off comes as Clinton appears to be solidifying her status as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.
Sanders, a U.S. senator from Vermont, nearly beat her in Iowa and then crushed her in New Hampshire.
But Clinton, a former U.S. secretary of state, has gained momentum by winning Nevada, South Carolina, seven of the 11 states on Super Tuesday, and Louisiana on Sunday
Still, Sanders won Kansas and Nebraska on Saturday.
One topic expected to come up Sunday night: the water crisis in the host city of Flint, Mich. In a January debate, both Clinton and Sanders criticized Michigan Gov. Rick Snyder, a Republican, after it was revealed Flint residents had been drinking from a water supply contaminated with lead.
As Clinton and Sanders battle Sunday night, Main will hosts its Democratic caucuses.
The debate is part of a deal Clinton and Sanders made to add more debates sanctioned by the Democratic National Committee to the schedule.
